Image of Vesiculovirus

Description:

This negatively-stained transmission electron micrograph (TEM) revealed the presence of two Piry virus virions. Note the bullet-like shape of the small 155nm x 162nm virions. Normally, under electron microscopic examination, the virions are observed as being discoidal or spheroidal in shape, and only rarely as bullet-shaped, as was the case here.
